I'm not sure I spot what you think is the bug.  Everything in your trace
looked like expected behavior.  I'm guessing that maybe you were thrown
off by this part of the output?

> xpu...@amdxp2100:/mnt/160G-1$ du -sH * Documents\ and\ Settings/
> du: WARNING: use --si, not -H; the meaning of the -H option will soon
> change to be the same as that of --dereference-args (-D)

That warning was in place to warn of a future change in behavior.  The
change has now been completed, and you will not get that warning in
coreutils 7.1.  But if I guessed wrong, then you will have to be more
explicit on how what you posted shows a bug (that is, give us more details
on what actually happened vs. what you expected to happen).

> xpu...@amdxp2100:/mnt/160G-1$ du --v
> du (GNU coreutils) 6.10

Your trace has earmarks of being a cygwin 1.5.x installation.  You may be
interested in upgrading to cygwin 1.7.0, where a newer pre-built coreutils
version is available.  However, details about cygwin installation are
better discussed on the cygwin AT cygwin DOT com mailing list.
